  • Finland 242 Finland Finland
    FINLAND 242 FINLAND FINLAND 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. General Overview Finland (in Finnish Suomi) is a republic in northern Europe, bounded on the north by Norway, on the east by Russia, on the south by the Gulf of Finland and Estonia, on the south-west by the Baltic Sea and on the west by the Gulf of Bothnia and Sweden. Nearly one third of the country lies north of 2 2 the Arctic Circle. The area of Finland, including 31 557 km of inland water, totals 338 000 km . The terrain is generally level, hilly areas are more prominent in the north and mountains are found only in the extreme north-west. The average July temperature in the capital Helsinki on the southern coast is 17 °C. The February average in Helsinki is about -5.7 °C. The corresponding figures at Sodankylä (Lapland) in the northern Finland are 14.1 °C and -13.6 °C. Precipitation (snow and rain) averages about 460 mm in the north and 710 mm in the south. Snow covers the ground for four to five months a year in the south, and about seven months in the north. Finland has a population of 5.16 million (1998) and average population density of 17 per km2 of land. Historical population data is shown in Table 1. The predicted annual population growth rate between the years 1998 and 2010 is 0.21 %. More than two thirds of the population reside in the southern third of the country. In Finland the total primary energy consumption1 per capita was about 60 % higher than the European Union average (according to 1996 statistics) and about 35 % higher than the OECD average.

  • Improving the Energy Efficiency of a Cruise Ship Stateroom
    Matti Nurmi Improving the energy efficiency of a cruise ship stateroom Master’s thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo, 23.4.2017 Supervisor: Professor Risto Kosonen Instructor: M. Sc. (Tech) Olli Jantunen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Matti Nurmi Title of thesis Improving the energy efficiency of a cruise ship stateroom Degree programme Degree Programme in Energy Engineering and HVAC Minor HVAC Technology Code K3008 Thesis supervisor Professor Risto Kosonen Thesis advisor Olli Jantunen, M. Sc. (Tech) Date 23.4.2017 Number of pages 78 Language English Abstract The energy consumption of cruise ships has traditionally been improved by enhancing the properties of the ship’s hull or efficiency of its propulsion. Latest research has concentrated on the ship’s power plant and how to utilize most of the energy in the fuel. As reducing the energy consumption means reduced operating costs new research topics are searched all the time. In this thesis, the focus is on the passenger stateroom and its energy consumption. Despite the small consumption of one cabin, together the hundreds make a large impact on the ship’s energy consumption. Systems that are studied include solutions for the water system, ventilation system and electrical system. For the water system two different water recycling showers are studied and a waste water heat recovery system. Ventilation system solutions are replacing the cabin air handling unit with a more efficient type, adding automation to main ventilation and improving the cabin balcony door properties and shading to prevent solar radiation from heating the cabin.
